Spoke to my dealer today and our new tractor should be arriving there this week. I just want to make sure I get any add ons that are worth it done now so I have no regrets. So far I'm adding the following:

-rear remotes
-cutting edge on loader
-block heater
-loaded tires
-rear work light
-possible sun canopy (waiting on price)

Anything I'm missing I should have them do or suggest I add that's worth it?

3rd function for the loader if you ever think you would want a grapple. Congratulations.

Get a 3rd function even if you're not planning for a grapple; plan to expand, plan to find more than you ever imagined for that tractor to do. It'll never be less of a headache to add these items than now. What about telescoping link ends? I don't think telescopic stabilizers are an option for the 3 point, but it may be worth asking about.

Now, there is also an insane aftermarket too, full of the things you'd think the manufacturers would offer but don't.

A proper grille guard to set in the brush guard. These are worth their weight in gold; they pay for themselves the first time you avoid a radiator puncture lol.

I, personally, also would recommend a guard for the turn signals/hazard lights. However, I'm also a bit gun-shy about breaking them off; they're not terribly expensive, as they're parts bin signals, but still- why pay to replace them? Preventative measures and whatnot.

I found a company that makes aftermarket parts for Kubota, and they worked with me to figure out what could work with my Kioti, and at the end of the day I can't say enough about Specialty Repairs Custom Mods; they were great to work with, and produce a quality product. I also picked up their Differential Lock pedal, and with my big feet it makes using my heel a lot easier.

Also, since you're going with a rear-remote, consider a hydraulic top link; particularly if you're going to be doing any rear blade work.

I'm sure I forgot something, and don't feel pressured to buy all this crap; you may never need it, I just plan for my own foolishness.

Linked pedal

Oh ****! Yes, you may very well want this!

It links the throttle response to the drive pedals, and allows you to operate at a lower general RPM, the machine increasing it according to pedal response.

Linked pedal
I have never understood the like of a linked pedal. Heck hadn't even heard of them till a few years ago. I've always used a hand throttle and if the tractor had it occasionally the foot feed to over ride when desired.
When pulling hard and needing full throttle at a mid or lower speed set that makes it impossible till disengaged while working. My little Kioti has it and I almost never use it.

It depends on your uses but I just installed one on my CX and im already a huge fan of it. For loader work its not the best but for mots other stuff I love it, especially the on and off the tractor type work. Its been a fuel saver for me.

Nice add ons are the telescopic 3 PT arms, linked pedal, block heater. Ultra nice add on is the cab. If you have any thoughts of needing a grapple or power angle snow blade in the future then also 3rd function. Love the R14 tires over the R4 tires

I love my linked pedal as well.
But I also think its one so those things that you don't miss if you never had it.

Have them throw in the floor mat and the toolbox for free if they haven't already.

I waited over a year for the damn armrests for the seat on my CK2610 too. lol
